My heart beats like an ant crossing a speaker
In an a and b affair
I barely reach the other side
Waiting the L train takes too long
the brain can't process coming home
After an evening nine to five

No keys to Gramercy as the daylight
And the night meet up for drinks
And I can't remember names
My head rings like it's currency, and every passerby I greet replies
"Can you spare a little change?"

When I'm old, I hope you're old
So we can grow so old together
We can stay so young I'm told
When you leave
I'll close the door
But there's no question, I'll remember
Our growing old together

Pass Tompkins Square and when you get there
They'll say these are in demand
So I opened up my hand
And when I untie my eyes, I saw an empire
Spreading out a sleepy mile
Heading out to Ellis Isle

So zip it up, zip it up, if you're standing on a subway
Sitting down, sitting down, watch your seat
If you like, ride a bike, it's better for the city
Spinning wheels, spinning wheels, spinning wheels

Take me downtown
Bring me to life
And when you're down
There will be life
